Thousands of marijuana seedlings destroyed on Toteung mountain, Kirivong, Takeo

Takeo provincial police chief Major General Sok Samnang and Kirivong police chief Yuk Sarath led a team to Toteung mountain in Kirivong district, finding illegal cannabis seedlings across 8 locations covering approximately 2,000 square metres. Six water tanks used for irrigation were also found. The cultivators escaped before police arrived. A spokesman noted ongoing enforcement since 2019, with cultivators moving to new locations each time. Local residents fear retaliation for reporting illegal cultivation.
